Blogger Review: Chris Velazco


My entrepreneurial idea is one for an app that would run on both Apple and Android products, particularly smartphones, iPads and tablets.  The app, called “Connected” is one that allows you to stay in touch with your friends easily no matter where you are.  Using Apple and Android integrated software, this app automatically shows the location of your closest friends via GPS right on your mobile device.  You will never lose your friends again!




Professional blogger Chris Velazco went to Rutgers University and now works for TechCrunch as a full-time mobile blogger.  His posts reflect the current news and happenings in the mobile technology industry. 
In this particular post from Velazco, he discusses an arising issue in the Apple community that deals with complaints about the iPhone 5’s new camera lens picking up a purple glare from lights in pictures.  Velazco writes the issue is not because of the newer lens and that the issue actually affective several apple devices.  Apple released an official statement on the matter that said, in essence, that users should move the camera to a different angle or use their hand to shield the lens from the light.  Velazco comments how this is similar to Apple’s response when iPhone 4 had the antenna issue. 
Velazco’s blog is short and concise which I like, especially when reading blogs.  He states the issue in the community and states what to do/expect in order to solve the issue.  He puts in the quote from Apple, which is very relevant to give the reader what he/she may be looking for.  The addition of the picture, which shows the glaring purple light, gives the reader a much greater insight to the actual issue.  Adding that picture to the blog is very, very beneficial to understanding the blog post.  The only part of the blog that could be confusing is when he says, “Steve Jobs’ recommendation to hold iPhone 4s differently in the wake of 2010′s Antenna gate situation.”  Readers may think, like I did at first, that Velazco means iPhone 4S and not iPhone Fours as in the plural of the iPhone 4.  This was a bit confusing to readers who didn’t catch that.

  2. Chris Velazco is a fine young man of Korean decedent. His family immigrated here in the bowels of a Foxconn container ship, hence his love for all things Apple. Nothing he says in regards to Android should be trusted.
